Plugged on well to take second at 7/1. Original quote: "Riptide: Ran a good race to be third last time out. Chepstow is not a track that usually brings out the best in him but this doesn't look a great race so hopefully won't be too far away."

Another top win for Simon's old-timer! Original quote: "Forceful Appeal - Was a fantastic winner last time at Lingfield on AW Champions Day. This multiple winner deserves a break, but he seems fresh and well every day so we will give him one go to break his duck on turf off a much lower mark…

Spot-on from Charlie - second at 10/1! Original quote: "Prince Of Arran: Is in great form and looks fantastic. Despite having a higher AW mark I'm certain he is just as good, if not better, on the turf. Ascot and Kempton form ties in very closely so the track should suit perfectly and he is…

Dead-heated for first - but still a nice return at 5/1! Original quote: "Pour L'Amour rarely runs a bad race and really deserves to pick up a race of this level.
